Criticisms from Listeners*:

• Lengthy Off-Topic Discussions: Occasionally, Ash and Alaina engage in lengthy off-topic discussions, veering away from the main case being discussed. While this may be enjoyable for some listeners, others prefer a more streamlined approach, wanting the focus to remain solely on the true crime content.
• Lack of Source Citations: Although the hosts conduct research, some listeners have expressed a desire for more transparency regarding the sources and references used in each episode.
• Overlapping Content: As the true crime genre is quite saturated, some listeners have pointed out that certain cases covered in Morbid have been previously covered extensively by other podcasts or media outlets. This overlap can sometimes lead to repetitive information for those who are well-versed in true crime content.
